Transcending Thought
Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.
Quotes by Helen Keller
Be of Good Cheer
Be of good cheer. Do not think of today's failures, but of the success that may come tomorrow. You have set yourself a difficult task, but you will succeed if you persevere; and you will find a joy in overcoming obstacles.
Security
Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing.
The Doors of Happiness
When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us.
Happiness
Many persons have a wrong idea of what constitutes true happiness. It is not attained through self-gratification but through fidelity to a worthy purpose.
Self Pity
Self pity is our worst enemy, and if we yield to it, we can never do anything wise in the world.
The Small Tasks
I long to accomplish a great and noble task, but it is my chief duty to accomplish small tasks as if they were great and noble.
Undefeatable Strength
To keep our faces toward change, and behave like free spirits in the presence of fate, is strength undefeatable.
Felt by the Heart
The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart.
Pessimistic?
No pessimist ever discovered the secret of the stars, or sailed to an uncharted land, or opened a new doorway for the human spirit.
